If anyone ever felt as though his sin is deeper than grace would go , I have. If there is one who looks beyond our sad mistakes, God does, though this son , Jesus! The essence of biblical repentance is beautifully embedded in the old and often repeated story of the prodigal son. Psalms 139:23-24 shares with us; Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. If anyone one has the right to say, thank you Lord for another day, I do! GOD IS GOOD! He has set me free! And aren't we glad! With so much sickness around, and all the lifestyle changes that we all have had to make we know God has been with us and blessed us. I think we all can say; Thank you to, Nurses, EMTs, Doctors, First Responders, Respiratory Therapists, all our medical folks. Thank you, Police Departments, Fire Departments, Educators, Pastors, Churches, Teachers and all our volunteers. We are all working together in this crisis. Better days head. We are praying for you as you serve. GOD IS GOOD to provide what we need. Sometimes things happen that we don’t understand but in God’s perfect plan we need to know it is good , all the time. As O. Hawkins says; I throw myself upon Your mercy and stand in Your Grace. God has provided folks who continue to serve His purpose and for that I am thankful! Gods seed is in us(1John 3:9). Seed means growth and expression, and God’s expression is always good and holy. I am sure many believers stumble and fall, and yet better things that accompany salvation (Hebrews 6:9) are expected of us. The Bible always urges me to move on and that tells me GOD IS GOOD! By aligning my life with God’s word I feel that I am on the right path. Some folks have quit the church and quit reading the Bible and I realize that I and we have a job to do, to be one who is to helping folks get back on the right path. May we share the wonderful peace of God with all those we come into contact with. It is for everyone. Jesus died for everyone. In the midst of trouble, in the midst of frustration and confusion—in sickness and yes, even death, GOD IS GOOD and we can have peace! There is no way in this world for us to ever evaluate what Bible preaching has meant to this world and to this great nation of America. For me America is the greatest nation in the world and many of us have served in our armed forces and we value America and it’s resources. God has put a premium on preaching the word of God! The very foundation of every successful endeavor of Southern Baptist across all these years has been the preaching of the word of God! We still need from very pulpit today, the preaching of the word of God., with every breath, and with every ounce of strength that we can muster. I know no matter what all of us do, in whatever arena that God has placed us to serve as men and women doing all kinds of work, that some will fall on stony ground, some among the thorns but some will fall on good ground! It will spring up and it will yield an increase of some thirty, some sixty and some a hundred fold because , you see, GOD IS GOOD! May we find our way back to serving God more than ever before. Its not too late —- but it is very late. Lets all men, women and boys and girls get back to work and tell the devil to get out of the way. He has fooled many folks away from serving God . I for one, will work till Jesus comes how about you! I was saved, my wife saved, my daughter saved, and my son saved because Jesus made it possible and because someone did the work of serving the King of King and Lord of Lords! See you on the battlefield!
